Representing Abortion (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Representing Abortion analyses how artists, writers, performers, and activists make abortion visible, audible, and palpable within contexts dominated by anti-abortion imagery centred on the fetus and the erasure of the pregnant person. This creative work is significant as it challenges the polarisation of conversations about abortion.
